EuroRV3 Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

EuroRV3: EuroVis Workshop on Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in Visualization - in conjunction with EuroVis 2013 <http://www.eurorvvv.org/> http://www.eurorvvv.org/ *** Call for Papers *** The EuroRV3: EuroVis Workshop on Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in Visualization focuses on the need for reliable visualization. We concentrate on recent and future developments related to the reproducibility of newly-developed visualization approaches, the verification of visualization and data-processing systems, the validation of visualization paradigms, and the effective incorporation of each of these into modern visualizations. Reliable reproducibility is a given in the more mature sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology etc. and is a requirement if visualization is to evolve into a mature science. Displaying and analyzing data is of ever-increasing importance in almost all research disciplines. Consequently, the field of visualization is constantly growing and reliable visualizations are of more and more importance for domain experts to gain authentic insights. This progress comes along with a steady growth in diversity and complexity of visualization methods, making judgment of the reliability difficult. This workshop solicits short papers and panel statements that address the core questions of the field of reliability in visualization. This includes - the reproducibility of newly developed visualization approaches - the verification of visualization and data-processing systems - the validation of the used visualization paradigms - the incorporation of such uncertainty aspects into visualizations In addition to the above topics, this year's workshop invites short papers (4 pages) and panel proposals (2 pages) with a special focus on Human-Centered Visualization and Verification. Topics include: - The role of the user in the verification and validation of visualization - Reliability of the human visual system - Limitations challenges associated with the human visual system - Verification that is most effective/objective from a human-centered point of view - Information overload - Intuitive interactions - Human-centered evaluation of visualizations - Cognition - Symbolization and abstraction - Theoretical vs. practically effective validation, verification, and visualization. All accepted papers will be published in electronic proceedings. A selection of the best short papers will be invited to extend their papers and submit to a special issue of Computing and Visualization in Science. Panel proposals describe the topic to be addressed and identify the prospective panelists. Each panelist includes a short position statement on the topic and a short biography, the total of which is limited to 500 words for each panelist, up to a maximum of two pages for the whole panel. *** Important Dates *** Short Papers Submission Deadline: March 8, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 19, 2013 Camera-ready Deadline: May 3, 2013 *** Workshop Co-Chairs *** Paul Rosenthal Robert S.

PhD Position in Visualization at University of Konstanz

by Stefanie Behnke

Dear Colleagues, the Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology (KoRS-CB) and the Computer and Information Science (CS) department at the University of Konstanz in Germany offer a PhD position in the area of information visualization for biology. We are searching for excellent candidates either in bioinformatics or in computer science with knowledge relevant to (biological) data visualization. In the project we will develop new data-analysis and visualization methods for high-throughput screening in Chemical Biology. Hit selection and sub-structure determination through clustering will be optimized with regards to chemical relevance. Results will be visualized by different parallel views that allow coherent interaction. An important aspect in visualization will be to reduce the cognitive load of the viewer. A successful candidate will be offered a full three years TVL 13 position and associated with KoRS-CB and CS. contact & links: Prof. Dr. Oliver Deussen ( <mailto:od@uni.kn> od(a)uni.kn) <http://graphics.uni.kn> http://graphics.uni.kn Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology: <http://www.chembiol.uni-konstanz.de/> http://www.chembiol.uni-konstanz.de/

EuroVis 2013 Call for Short Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

/// EuroVis 2013 - Call for Short Papers /// http://www.eurovis.org/ For the second time, EuroVis 2013 features a short paper track. The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program committee. They will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be 4 pages (at most), excluding references, and 5 pages (at most), in total. They will be orally presented at the conference. EuroVis 2013 will be held in Leipzig, Germany, June 17-21, 2013. Please note that we encourage authors of short papers on workshop topics to submit to the respective workshop. Important Dates: *Short Papers Submission Deadline*: March 8, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 19, 2013 Camera-ready Deadline: May 3, 2013 Conference Dates: June 17-21, 2013 A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller -- yet still significant -- scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers: * A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation). * An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization technique or system with convincing evaluation. * An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system. * A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that helps to understand limitations. * A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the implementation). * A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive evaluation of the methodology). All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book. Further details about paper types and suggested topics can be found at: http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/short-paper-submission/ http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/call-papers/ Short Paper Co-Chairs: Mario Hlawitschka, University of Leipzig, Germany Tino Weinkauf, Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Germany Further information: http://www.eurovis.org/
